5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very handy, 29 Aug 2007
By Antyllus (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I have found this book packed with very useful, practical and pragmatic information. Particularly the sections on contracts and copyright are a must for anyone who does not wish to fall into a trap. The important thing in a contract is often what's not in it!

Written in an easy to understand style and prose, I can only recommend this book to all aspiring artists.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to the basics, 9 Mar 2009
By eeksqueak (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Short, readable and comprehensive, this book is full of vital information. It gives thorough coverage of the subject, but is also waffle-free and only 128 pages long - great if you do not get off on reading business handbooks. It is also arranged into clear chapters that you can refer back to as needed. The writing is clear and even legalistic issues are easy to understand.
I would give it five stars except that I thought a couple of areas could have done with more coverage: self-employment and tax issues, artists' insurance, and more about how to sell through the internet. I also felt that the contacts list could have been a bit fuller. But all in all an excellent guide which does its job quickly and cleanly - great for checking all those business points you didn't want to know but found you needed to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Artists'
Practical, informative, most relevant to those selling their work indirectly through exhibitions or agents. Particularly useful if you are planning to engage an agent.
